Portugal Stuns Host France to

Win Euro 2016 Despite Cristiano

Ronaldo Injury
July 10, 2016
"Football can be very cruel," said Hugo Lloris, France's captain
Recommended by
SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) Portugal overcame the loss of injured captain Cristiano Ronaldo
to beat France 1-0 in the European Championship final on Sunday, with a goal in extra time
from substitute Eder securing their countrys first football title.
Just as the final looked destined for a penalty shootout, Eder cut through the French defense
and struck a low shot from 25 meters past goalkeeper Hugo Lloris in the 109th minute at the
Stade de France.
Twelve years after losing to Greece on home soil in their last appearance in the final, it was
Portugals turn to spoil the host nations party. And they achieved it after winning only one of
their seven games at Euro 2016 inside 90 minutes, and after losing the inspirational Ronaldo
midway through the first half.
It was tough because we lost our main man and we had all our hopes pinned on him
because hes a player who can score a goal at any minute, Portugal defender Pepe said.
When he said he couldnt go on, I tried to tell my teammates that we have to win it for him.
That we were going to fight for him.
And they did.
Red and green confetti descended from the roof onto Ronaldo and his victorious teammates
as supporters of the hosts flooded out of the stadium, denied a third victory on French soil to
add to Euro 84 and the 1998 World Cup.
Football can be very cruel, said Lloris, Frances captain. The overriding emotion is a lot of
sadness.
Today I had bad luck because I had a small injury in the beginning of the teams, but my
colleagues did their part they run, they fight nobody believed in Portugal but we won,
Ronaldo said.
After years of planning, the championships first 24-team tournament became a reality over
the last month, but the quality of football deteriorated. Such a sterile showpiece the first
European Championship final to be scoreless after 90 minutes seemed a fitting climax.

Even France forward Antoine Griezmann, the tournaments leading scorer, couldnt rise to the
big occasion. There was no seventh goal of Euro 2016 from the Atletico Madrid forward, who
also lost out in the Champions League final six weeks ago to Ronaldos Real Madrid.
Griezmann was the first player to find the target, buthisa header was tipped over by Rui
Patricio, who was formidable in the Portugal goal. When an inviting cross from Kingsley
Coman was delivered in the 66th, Griezmann missed with a free header.

Only once was Patricio beaten, when Andre-Pierre Gignacs shot hit the inside of the post but
it came back out.
Luck was on Portugals side, and Eder was able to strike the decisive blow.
For the unheralded striker, who plays in France for Lille, it was only his fourth goal in 29
appearances for Portugal.
Cristiano told me I would be scoring the winning goal, Eder said. He gave me strength and
positive energy.
The energy didnt seem to be going Portugals way in the ninth minute when Dimitri Payets
right knee clattered into Ronaldos standing left leg.
Ronaldo went down in agony writhing, grimacing and screaming. He was able to return,
but this was one injury he could not run off.
Ronaldo fell to the turf again in the 17th. One of the moths infesting the national stadium
fluttered over Ronaldos tearful right eye. Teammates tried to help in vain to help, with Nani
tending to the knee.
But Ronaldos mobility was restricted. Battling through the pain, regularly reaching down to
check on the injury, Ronaldo realized there would be no miracle recovery.
The clock hit 23 minutes and Ronaldo ripped off his captains armband and tossed it on the
turf. Slumping to the ground again, Ronaldo was consoled by Nani, who embraced his former
Manchester United teammate as the armband was transferred.
The stretcher came on and in the 25th minute Ronaldo became a spectator. But thanks to
Patricios array of saves and dogged defending, Ronaldo left a champion.
Ronaldo was the last to climb the steps up to the VIP area to collect the trophy from Angel
Maria Villar, who has assumed UEFAs presidential duties since Michel Platini was banned
from football.

Reigning Olympic Gymnastics Champ

Gabrielle Douglas Back for Rio
The U.S. womens gymnastics team has a lot to prove next month when the Olympic Games
start in Rio. As defending team gold medalists, theres pressure to defend that title, and as
the country thats produced the last three all-around champions in a row, theres tremendous
expectations to make it a four-peat.
Thats very likely to happen, with three-time world champion Simone Biles now officially on
the U.S. team. Biles easily won the two-day Olympic trials in San Jose, Calif., cementing her
reputation as the best gymnast in the world. Biles hasnt lost a major competition since
winning the world championships in 2013. Despite an uncharacteristic fall off the beam and a
small break on the uneven bars, Biles high-difficulty routines meant even a few deductions
kept her well ahead of her 12 other competitors.
As the winner of the Olympic trials event, Biles was the only guaranteed member of the Riobound team. The remaining four members were chosen by a selection committee of three
national team coordinator Martha Karolyi; Tatiana Perskaia, a womens national team coach;
and Terin Humphrey, the athlete representative. The panel met for nearly half an hour after
the trials were completed at the SAP Center to name the remainder of the team.
Joining them are first-time Olympians Laurie Hernandez from Old Bridge, N.J., and Madison
Kocian of Dallas. Hernandez was the surprise standout of the trials, with a memorably
energetic floor routine and consistent routines on the three other events over the two-day
competition, making it clear shes ready for a shot at the Olympics.
The team is a carefully built group meant to give the U.S. the best chance of defending its
team gold. Three gymnasts will compete on each of the four events, and Karolyi and the
selection committee scrutinized each gymnasts routine to figure out which combination of
programs would yield the highest overall score. Biles excels at vault, floor and balance beam,
as does Raisman, while Douglas and Kocian are specialists on the uneven bars, and
Hernandez shines on floor.
The team now heads to Houston to the National Training Center for further training, during
which Karolyi will determine the final lineup of who will compete on which event in Rio.

Beating Terrorism in Bangladesh Requires

Public and Personal Commitment
As Bangladesh continues to reel from the terrorist attack on the Holey Artisan Bakery on July
1, like so many people I know, it has crossed my mind that I could have been there.
I am friends with the owners, and every other day I would meet friends and family for coffee
on the cafes manicured lawns. My wife and I always spoke with pride of our apartment being
right around the corner from Holey, which was an oasis, a sanctuary, in a city that has now
changed forever. Things may never be the same again here, most grievously for the families
who lost their loved ones, but for the country too. Indeed, it may mark a turning point so
severe that years from now people will think of Bangladesh in terms of pre- and post-Holey.
After such a disfiguring calamity, the biggest question is always, Why? Yet looking for a
reason based on the stated claims of terrorists is a mistake. There is no need for a reason
when it comes to convincing young men to join groups promising violence in the name of a
cause. Islam is not needed, religion is not needed; all that is needed is a sense of righteous
injustice and unique victimhood.
Three came from well-off middle-class families, privileged and privately educated both in
Bangladesh and abroad. These boys do not fit the profile we had created of terrorists: poor,
rural and madrassa students. No, these kids had everything they needed. They wanted for
nothing.
Today, these young militants have robbed the citizens of Dhaka of their sense of security.
Every place, fond and familiar, has been transformed into a potential scene of carnage. They
have even robbed the nation of its deepest conviction: that a suicide attack could never
happen here. It did, for that is what the Holey attack effectively was. For all our vaunted
secularism and syncretic culture, our youth are as fallible as anywhere else. They are
vulnerable to the seduction of superhuman fantasies as any others.
The government will one hopesand hopes desperatelyfinally step up its counterterrorism
efforts. We as a society must also look hard at what in our environment may be predisposing
children to the recruiters message. As long as so-called moderate Muslims and also certain
kinds of liberals enable narratives of unique Muslim distress in Western hands, they are
acting at cross-purposes. We have to promulgate ideas of self that are less tribal, and a sense
of life that has purpose beyond mere consumerism.
Like violent movements of the past, this, too may be countered, but not easily. It will take a
kind of diligence in government action that we are yet to see. But we must look hard at how
we talk about ourselves, and others. Are we teaching our children to own the world, or only
some wretchedly small part of it and that too in bitter, unending antagonism with all others?

We have to build security capabilities like never before. Already, its late, too late for the 20
hostages killed at the Holey Artisan Bakery. We must start now.

Saddam Hussein Was Actually

Horrible At Killing Terrorists
Daniel Benjamin July 8, 2016
He was a bad guyreally bad guy, Trump opined during a rally in North Carolina. But you
know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didnt read them the
rights. They didnt talk. They were terrorists. Over.
Hussein, it is true, killed a lot of people. The estimates run into the hundreds of thousands,
and he murdered in a variety of appalling ways: He had his victims shot, gassed, blown up,
beheaded and even torn apart by wild animals. And while all of his victims had excellent
reasons for not liking life under the longtime Iraqi dictator, almost none were terrorists. On
the contrary, terrorists in Iraq were mostly honored guests and worked at the regimes
behest.
Thousands of terrorists called Iraq home, and their organizations had the blood of Israelis,
Turks, Iranians and Europeans from numerous countries on their hands. Among the killers
were members of the Palestine Liberation Front, the Arab Liberation Front, the Kurdish PKK,
the Iranian Mujahidin e-Khalq and the Abu Nidal Organization. Saddam promised to pay the
families of suicide bombers who killed Israelis for their deeds. It is true that he despised
jihadists and had nothing to do with al Qaeda, but that hardly diminishes his record. Not for
nothing, Iraq was among the first batch of countries designated by Washington as state
sponsors of terror in 1979.
Perhaps Trump has information that is not widely available, but only one case of a terrorist
being killed in Iraq comes readily to mind: the death of Abu Nidal. Before Osama bin Laden
came along, Nidalalso known as Sabry al Bannawas widely considered the most vicious
terrorist alive. He worked, by turns, for the Syrians, the Libyans and the Iraqis, engineered
notorious airport massacres in 1985 in Rome and Vienna, and ultimately was credited with
some 900 deaths and injuries.
Nidal was a particular favorite of Hussein, who employed him for assassinations and other
wet-work from the beginning of his career in the 1970s. But as rumors of an approaching war
with the United States swirled in the August of 2002, Hussein is said to have worried that
Nidal, who lived in Baghdad, might be working for the U.S. Though Hussein might also have

decided that as Washington was making its case for action against Iraq, Nidal was a nonessential burden. Iraqi press accounts afterward that said Nidal committed suicide and that
he had multiple gunshot wounds. Perhaps that was what Trump was thinking when he
applauded Hussein for killing terrorists so good. But the bigger picture of Iraqs ties with
Abu Nidal begs the question of whether the end was the most important part of this
relationship.
The Kuwaitis uncovered the plot before Bush arrived. Two months later, after the suspects
confessed and the full picture of the operation was clear, President Bill Clinton sent 23
Tomahawk cruise missiles into Iraqi intelligence headquarters. It was his administrations first
use of military force.
This was not exactly a hidden chapter in history. Indeed, President George W. Bush reminded
everyone in late 2002 that Saddam was the guy who tried to kill my dada remark that
launched countless conjectures about the motivation behind the American march to war in
Iraq.
It is odd that Trump seems to have no memory of the incident and odder still that he holds up
Hussein as being on the right side of the terrorism issue. Unimpeachable ignorance and no
moral compass. Trump does that so good. Over.

Theres a Test That May Reveal

Racial Bias in Policeand in All of Us
Jeffrey Kluger @jeffreykluger July 8, 2016
Perhaps the only thing worse than being in the presence of racism is discovering that
despite your high opinion of your selfyou might be guilty of it. None of us can peer into the
heart and mind of the St. Paul, Minn., police officer who shot Philandro Castile to death
through the window of his car on July 6.
No one, similarly, can know the thoughts of the officer who killed Alton Sterling in Baton
Rouge, La. the day beforeor the ones who murdered Tamir Rice and Michael Brown and
Dontre Hamilton and Walter Scott and Freddie Gray, and all of the other young men who have
lost their lives in our national spate of such deaths.
Still, it would beggar reason to suggest that there is not a racial element to all of this. Would
this have happened if those passengers, the driver were white? asked Minnesota Governor
Mark Dayton, after the St. Paul shooting. I dont think it would have. All of us in Minnesota
are forced to confront that this kind of racism exists.
All of us everywhere else, too. Racial biaseven if not racial animusis present in everybody.
The human brain, as psychologist Joshua Correll of the University of Colorado, Boulder, puts
it, is a meaning-making machine, forever sorting things into categoriesgood and bad,
safe and unsafe, happy and sadoften on the fly. Survival depended on being able to make
those distinctions fast.
In 1998, psychologists Mahzarin Banaji of Harvard; Anthony Greenwald, of the University of
Washington; and Brian Nosek of the University of Virginia created whats known as the
Implicit Association Test (IAT) designed to reveal different kinds of biasesgender, race, body
type and more. (You can take the test here, by first clicking a disclaimer page and selecting
the race test.) The IAT, as its full name suggests, is not concerned with any conscious

prejudices you may or may not hold. Its concerned more with the ones youre unaware of,
the automatic, reflexive judgments you make all the time.
In its most basic form, the IAT flashes a random series of black and white, male and female
faces. In one part of the test youre asked to click keys to associate negative terms like hurt,
evil, agony and failure with the black faces and positive terms like love, joy, peace and happy
with the white ones. In the other part, the qualities are switched, with the black faces getting
the good terms and the white faces the bad ones.
With depressing frequency, the majority of subjects make the black-equals-bad and whiteequals-good associations more accurately and more quickly than the other way around. In
one 2014 compilation of 1.55 million IAT subjects, the average scores of white Americans
placed them just above the cutoff point that separates slightly prefer whites from
moderately prefer whites.
Greenwald stresses that those subjects are by definition a self-selected community, people
who are concerned enough to want to know more about their hidden biases and motivated
enough to go find out. For some people, this is a way to learn about their implicit
associations so they can curb them, he says. Othersthe folks content to accept or, in the
worst cases, embrace their biasesare unlikely ever to find the way to the test.
For police officers, more must be done. Psychologist Jack Glaser, a professor of public policy
at the University of California, Berkeley and an expert on police decision-making, believes
better preparation for policing multi-racial neighborhoods is a critical part. For one thing,
officers can be more rigorously trained to step back and look for valid indicators of probable
causemore than race, certainly, and more than minor offenses like a busted tail light, which
may be a perfectly good reason for a stop in some cases but not in others.

More importantand more pressingis curbing the use of official force when situations
escalate. For this, Glaser and others suggest what is called a time and distance strategy,
that can help experts learn from tragedies like the St. Paul killing. If you look at this not as
an execution but instead as a mix of confusion, fear and racial

How Cubas Reggaeton Defies Internet

Restrictions
Chelsea Matiash @cmatiash July 8, 2016
The language can be explicit, the lyrics could be considered immoral, and the genre was once
banned entirely by Raul Castros administration. So how do performers from the nowubiquitous Cuban Reggaeton scene find celebrity, let alone spread their music in a country
where internet connectivity relies on expensive, government-approved WiFi hotspots that are
unreliable and inundated at best?
The El Paquete (The Packet), a hard drive that is delivered weekly for a nominal fee, is a
significant player in the dissemination of media not accessible to legions of Cubans hungry
for information. It is on this semi-clandestine device that proprietors of a phenomenon that
has infiltrated Cuban airwaves spread music that has everyone from children to teens to
grandparents dancing along.
Despite the limitations on connectivity, artists can create songs and videos that circulate all
over Cuba within a couple of days, says Poole. She says the creation and distribution of
Reggaeton content is in constant flow where artists keep up with a demand for new music.

Reggaeton, which is a style that incorporates elements of hip-hop, electronic music and rap
with influences of Jamaican dancehall, is at its core, dance music. Cubans really love
dancing, says Poole, an American born to a Cuban mother. And so for them its more
preferable to go out and listen to something that they can dance to.
The photographer began visiting the country as a teenager and took up primary residence
there in late 2014. She says she is motivated to look at the country objectively to show Cuba
the way that it really is, as Ive seen it living there. I feel like showing Reggaeton is just part
of that.

First Zika-Related Death Reported in

Continental U.S.
Alexandra Sifferlin @acsifferlin July 8, 2016 Updated: July 10, 2016 9:49 PM ET
An elderly person with Zika has died in Utah
Correction appended, July 10
An elderly Utah resident with a Zika virus infection has died, marking the first such death in
the continental U.S., health authorities confirm.
The Salt Lake County, Utah resident was confirmed to have died in late June. The person, who
was not identified, had an underlying health condition, and it has not been determined how
Zika may have been involved in the death. The Salt Lake County Health Department
(SLCoHD) confirmed in a statement. The person had traveled to a country where Zika is
spreading.

While this individual did test positive for Zika virus, the exact cause of death has not been
determined, and it may not be possible to determine how the Zika infection contributed to
the death, the health department said in a statement. Due to health privacy laws, health
officials will not release further details about the individual or the individuals travel history.
The health officials said in a statement that this is the first confirmed Zika-related death in
the continental U.S.
This unfortunate situation is a tragic reminder of how important it is to receive proper pretravel education and to protect yourself from mosquitoes when traveling abroad, said Dr.
Dagmar Vitek, medical director for SLCoHD in a statement. In addition to Zika, travelers
need to be mindful of other diseases found around the world, including mosquito-borne
illnesses like Dengue fever, malaria, and chikungunya.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the death as well and
noted that as of this week, 1,132 cases of travel-associated Zika had been reported in the
U.S.
There have not been any reported cases of locally transmitted Zika in the U.S., though some
health officials have told TIME that its possible that Zika is already spreading in parts of the
country. In the meantime, Congress has yet to pass the $1.9 billion in emergency funding
that the White House requested in February.
Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly included a description of the Utah
residents gender. That information was not released.

Serena Williams Beats Angelique Kerber

in Wimbledon Final for 22nd Slam Title
(LONDON) Serena Williams won her record-tying 22nd Grand Slam title by beating
Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3 in the Wimbledon final on Saturday.
Williams pulled even with Steffi Graf for the most major championships in the Open era,
which began in 1968. Now Williams stands behind only Margaret Courts all-time mark of 24.
This was Williams seventh singles trophy at the All England Club and second in a row. Her
victory at Wimbledon a year ago raised her Grand Slam count to 21, but while she came
close to adding to that total since, she couldnt quite do it.

There was a stunning loss to Roberta Vinci in the U.S. Open semifinals in September, ending
Williams bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam. Then came losses in finals to Kerber at the
Australian Open in January, and to Garbine Muguruza at the French Open last month.
But in the rematch against the fourth-seeded Kerber at Centre Court on Saturday the first
time in a decade two women met to decide multiple major titles in a single season the No.
1-ranked Williams came through.
The 34-year-old American did it, as she often does, with nearly impeccable serving. She
slammed 13 aces, including at least one in each of her first eight service games. She won 38
of 43 points when she put a first serve in.
And she faced just one break point at 3-all in the second set, it represented Kerbers only
real opening and shut the door quickly and emphatically, with a pair of aces at 117 mph
and 124 mph, her fastest of the afternoon.
There was more that Williams did well, though. So much more. Facing the left-handed
Kerbers reactive, counter-punching style, Williams was by far the more aggressive player,
trying to make things happen. And she did, compiling a big edge in winners, 39-12.

Benjamin Crump: Seven Deaths Cannot

Be In Vain
Benjamin Crump @AttorneyCrump July 8, 2016
We all need to change. Right now.
In less than 48 hours, two black men were killed at the hands of law enforcement officers. A
day after the second man was killed, eleven police officers were shot in Dallas, Texas. Five
died. Seven killings avoidable. Seven people who should have gone home to their families.

Seven people who should have lived to see another day. Seven people whose deaths cannot
be in vain.
How many times must a black man be unjustly killed at the hands of the people that are
supposed to protect and serve? By now most have the watched the final seconds of Alton
Sterlings life, as he was pinned down by two police officers before being shot and killed.
Sterling was shot while lying on the ground with one officer straddling him and another officer
held him down at the neck. You hear an officer yell, If you f-cking move, I swear to God, a
statement followed by gunshots fired at point blank range. Sterling had been shot multiple
times in his chest. A man, who prior to the arrest had been selling CDs and DVDs outside of a
convenience store with the owners permission, is now dead for no good reason. Sterling was
a father, son, brother and friend. He could have been your father, son, brother or friend. Next
time it could be your father, son, brother or friend.
This time the killing happened at the hands of Baton Rouge Police Officers. The U.S.
Department of Justice will once again lead a civil rights investigation, and it will not be
enough. The officers must be charged and held accountable for their actions. It is not enough
that Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II are on paid administrative leave for killing Alton
Sterling. They must be terminated, indicted and convicted. This way of policing has to
change. It never will, if officers are not held accountable. The repeated murders,
investigations and lack of indictments send a message to bad police officers that they are
above the law.
Less than forty-eight hours after the unnecessary killing of Sterling, Philando Castile was
killed by a police officer in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. He was pulled over for allegedly having
a busted taillighta routine traffic stop. During the stop, Castile informed the officer that he
had a permit to carry a concealed weapon and further notified the officer that he was in fact
carrying a weapon, well within his legal rights. The officer asked for Castiles license and
registration. Castile had no way to know that when he attempted to comply with the officers
commands he would be shot and killed. Shot and killed with his fianc and a four-year-old girl
in the same car that the officer intentionally and recklessly fired four bullets into. Castile was
killed for being black, legally carrying a gun and being pulled over by the wrong police
officers. The officer involved in this killing must be indicted, charged and convicted. The way
of policing in America has to change.
While officers are given no reason to change, our communities are losing faith day by day in
the justice system, if there is any faith at all left at this point. Black men cannot and will not
continue to be targets of policing gone wrong. Communities are rightfully outraged; they
want answers; they want accountability; and they want justice. Communities deserve justice.
But what happened yesterday evening in Dallas is not justice. Four snipers shot eleven police
officers, killing five. The attack took place at the end of demonstrations protesting the killings
of Sterling and Castile. Three of the four suspects are now in police custody. We do not
advocate violence against law enforcement, and we condemn the violent acts that occurred
in Dallas, because it is exactly what we have always feared could happen if our society
continues to fall short of the American idea of justice for all
